He has also shot music videos for Billy Idol, Queens of the Stone Age, Glen Campbell and Postmodern Jukebox, and worked on documentary projects about Johnny Cash, Sam Cooke and Bob Marley.

Alongside his film practice, Livneh taught at the American Film Institute in Los Angeles and lectured at other film schools.
